BackgroundThe International Commission of Radiology recommends a pregnancy screening test to all female patients of childbearing age who will undergo a radiological study. Radiation is known to be teratogenic and its effect is cumulative. The teratogenic potential starts at doses close to those used during these procedures. The prevalence of positive pregnancy tests in patients undergoing electrophysiological studies and/or catheter ablation in our midst is unknown. ObjectiveTo evaluate the prevalence of positive pregnancy tests in female patients referred for electrophysiological study and/or radiofrequency ablation. MethodsCross-sectional study analyzing 2,966 patients undergoing electrophysiological study and/or catheter ablation, from June 1997 to February 2013, in the Institute of Cardiology of Rio Grande do Sul. A total of 1490 procedures were performed in women, of whom 769 were of childbearing age. All patients were screened with a pregnancy test on the day before the procedure. ResultsThree patients tested positive, and were therefore unable to undergo the procedure. The prevalence observed was 3.9 cases per 1,000 women of childbearing age. ConclusionBecause of their safety and low cost, pregnancy screening tests are indicated for all women of childbearing age undergoing radiological studies, since the degree of ionizing radiation needed for these procedures is very close to the threshold for teratogenicity, especially in the first trimester, when the signs of pregnancy are not evident.

“…A agenesia da VCI é frequentemente assintomática, podendo ser diagnosticada através do estudo eletrofisiológico do coração, devido à dificuldade de ascensão dos cateteres em direção cefálica (GENSAS, et al, 2012). O exame de angiotomografia também pode ser útil para diagnosticar essa patologia, podendo mostrar uma continuação ázigos da VCI (ALVES, et al, 2010).…”

“…Agenesis of the IVC is a rare malformation, being present in 0.005% to 1% of the population 3. These anomalies may be associated with vague and non-specific symptoms or, for the most part, be totally asymptomatic, and the diagnosis is usually made incidentally in imaging tests.…”

Malformations of inferior vena cava (IVC) as agenesis are a rare congenital anomaly and cause of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of lower limbs and should be investigated in young patients of unknown aetiology. Treatment with mechanical thrombectomy and thrombolysis can be considered in certain cases of DVT, promoting rapid clot removal, and has also been shown to be an effective treatment in acute DVT. We present a case of acute lower limb DVT associated with IVC agenesis in which Alteplase thrombolysis was used and thrombus aspiration with catheter bilaterally, with subsequent angioplasty of the common and external iliac, obtaining satisfactory results.
